Electric Vehicle Charging Stations at State Parks and Forests

DCNR has been working to install electric vehicle charging stations at more than 40 state park and forest locations to help reduce greenhouse gases, lessen smog, and improve air quality.

Currently, 48 public, electric vehicle charging stations are now available to use by park and forest visitors who drive plugin hybrid or full electric-powered vehicles.

The stations can fully charge vehicles in approximately 2.5 to 7 hours. If using the charging stations, we ask that you please move to another parking space once your vehicle has been charged.

Several of these charging stations are received funding from U.S. EPA’s 2016 emissions equipment settlement with Volkswagen.
